I thought I’d share this little strip from an excellent comic — We the Robots — that I ran across during my occasional visit to the Animation Show website. I’ve been eager to check out Animation Show 3 (still in progress…)!
Art is a funny thing and from art we draw expression, inspiration, emotion, and ideas. Has there ever been such a thing as art that was wrong or right?
Similarly do we all have a right or wrong way to learn? I think we’re still stuck in a hole when it comes to education. Still stuck on grades. Still stuck on how things we think should be done rather than how things can be done. The common argument that grades are the only effective method of measuring success is overused and out of date.
The amount of information and knowledge out there continues to increase at an insanely exponential rate yet we insist that children follow a rigid method of learning that is based off of the major section of a bell curve whom receive the excellent marks. The smaller sections outside of majority manage to keep up somewhat but are they able to utilize their potential? We are not helping generation after generation of kids by defining them through IQ, EQ or whatever measurement we like to apply on to a person. You may refer to my belief as too holistic but I think in order to really determine the potential of a person, don’t we have to really get to know them?
Chris Harding the creator of We the Robots had posted this on a recent blog post that I wanted to share. I’d recommend reading the introduction to We the Robots for more fun!
